Barcelona hope to have new signing Dani Olmo available against Athletic Bilbao on Saturday after facing issues with registering the midfielder, coach Hansi Flick said on Friday.
Barcelona host Bilbao in their second match of the season in LaLiga, having beaten Valencia 2-1 on matchday one.
Olmo, who arrived in a €60million deal from RB Leipzig after helping Spain win Euro 2024, did not feature in that match and is yet to be registered with LaLiga.
Barcelona have faced well-documented financial issues in recent years and sanctioned Ilkay Gundogan’s return to Manchester City on Friday, hoping that move will allow them to comply with the league’s strict salary cap rules.
Flick hopes to receive positive news regarding Olmo’s availability ahead of Saturday’s match, saying: “It is not my job, we have worked well this week.
